        The intended use is All Cops Are Bad.

        But I never read it that way. To me it’s always, Assigned Cop At Birth.

          Its intended use is “all cops are bastards

          … Which they are.

                Generalizations never help… There may be bad police men. In some countries more, in others less. But there are definitely many nice police men who help keeping our societies safe. There are also countries, where police is known as “your friend and helper”

                You think anarchy is better?

                This is just some extremist facism bullshit and stupid.

                  If “good cops” actually existed and did their jobs, they would arrest the perpetrators of corruption and there wouldn’t be any “bad cops”. Given that bad cops are still quite prevalent we can deduce that good cops are a myth or are so few in number as to be irrelevant.
